It's nearly killed us to keep this a secret, but this fall, everyone will be able to put our favorite objects - on their own wall...

Our (Well, the Brits') Paintings

The BBC and the Public Catalogue Foundation have partnered up to give the world access to all of the great paintings in the museums around the UK. So far there are 110,000 photographed and up on the Your Paintings site. It's remarkably fun stuff - and a great resource if you're looking for images of powerful men staring off to the left (or pretending to)...or folky boats...or manor houses.

This is fantastic - yet another amazing resource from the BBC. It's great to see so many paintings from local museums and government offices in small towns across the country. Many of these paintings might otherwise be gathering dust in some municipal offices without anyone having a chance to see them.

I think you might be able to photo- shop your dad's likeness into the Lieutenant Reginald Theodore Carlos Hoidge and call it a day. Then make a copy, print, frame and say 'yes, he's family'. Seriously cool stuff
